Two horses throw off their riders and run alone through Frankfurt's heavy traffic.
A TikTok user films the scenes by accident.
Police reports of escaped horses are not uncommon.
Therefore, a message from the beginning of November did not cause a great stir.
The incident: In the Niederraeder forest, two horses throw off their riders and gallop through the streets of Frankfurt.
But some time later, a video appears on the Internet that captures the scenes up close.
The clip with the panicking four-legged friends went viral within a very short time.

is in Frankfurt-Niederrad - it seems a normal day like any other.
However, he has no idea that a little later two horses will gallop towards him in panic.
According to the police, the two four-legged friends threw off their riders at the age of 22 and 27 when they went for a ride in the Niederrad forest.
The animals ran away towards the city.
Finally, at the intersection of Lyoner Strasse and Straßburger Strasse, they galloped across the roadway and tram tracks.
That was probably the moment when the TikTok user couldn't believe his eyes.
He quickly pulls out his mobile phone and films the spectacular scenes.
The first horse slips slightly with its front legs, but quickly catches itself again.
Just before a car, it turns right and gallops onto the pedestrian walkway, where some passers-by jump aside at the last moment.
In Egypt, too, people cannot believe what they see as a pony gallops between two trains.

The black and white horse behind it is not so easy to see.
At the intersection, the four-legged friend falls onto the asphalt, but is able to get up again straight away.
According to the police, the horses galloped further down Hahnstrasse to Goldsteinstrasse – right in the direction of the police station.
"One of the horses fell in front of the building and was injured," the officials said.
With the support of some passers-by, the police finally managed to capture the frightened runaways.
